This Just In… The Gospel According to Mamma by Annette Bridges

After almost a decade of writing columns for newspapers, magazines and websites resulting in hundreds of stirring and motivating columns, the author realized that many of her essays were inspired by lessons learned from her mamma. So it was appropriate and natural for her first book to pay tribute.

Mamma’s life lessons book -- or Mamma would call it her words of wisdom book -- is now available. The Gospel According to Mamma is a collection of 21 extraordinary lessons the author learned from her charming and captivating southern mamma. These “mamma teachings” are packed with sassy inspiration, practical insights and real-life anecdotes from her inspirational life story along with the author’s own examples of trying to implement what her mamma had taught.

Leaving Georgia with her mamma late one September night when her daddy was en route to end their lives marked the beginning of a lifetime of instruction for both of them. How to maintain faith in God and yourself, love the hell out of folks and be happy when there’s no obvious reason to be are just a few of the messages you’ll find in this book.
